Chapter 434 Results of a Thorough Investigation
On the way back, Qiao Xuan smiled at Shao Yunduan and said, "Aunt Le Zheng heard me talk about our business in Zhangjia Village and advised me that it would be best to buy a few servants. In the future, when the business is developed, there will be more and more things to take care of. It will be inconvenient if I don't have a few people who belong to me completely."
Shao Yunduan nodded: "It's time to buy a few."
Qiao Xuan frowned again: "That's right, this matter is not easy to handle. It's not easy to buy a reliable person."
"Take your time," Shao Yunduan said with a smile, "Let's go to the provincial capital again next spring to see if there are any suitable ones. We can also recruit a few reliable managers and sign a ten- or fifteen-year employment contract. At least we will have people available first."
Qiao Xuan's eyes lit up: "Yes! This is the best. As long as we can afford it, we won't have trouble hiring a good one."
She thought about it and smiled, "When the time comes, we can ask Aunt Le Zheng and the others for help. It's not for anything else, but with someone from Le Zheng's family as a guarantor, it will be easier to hire the right person."
Shao Yunduan smiled and nodded: "Well, in fact, I think there are some good tenants now. I will talk to them when the time comes. If they are willing, I can sign a contract for employment for ten years."
Now that the employment issue was resolved, Qiao Xuan felt much more at ease.
Otherwise, she really couldn't let it go. With so much land in Zhangjia Village, she had to hire some people from the village, otherwise the villagers would have objections, and it might cause conflicts in the long run.
However, if all the labor is found in Zhangjia Village, the villagers will inevitably form a group to cause trouble over time, and then we will not be able to stop using the labor, and if we stop using the labor, people will cause more trouble.
Although it can be dealt with if something happens, it is troublesome, time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly, so it is best to avoid it if possible.
So, it’s best to mix them together.
They bought their own people, added tenants who were not from Zhangjia Village, and then the villagers selected the best ones for recruitment, thus forming a balance among all parties, which was conducive to long-term development.
Provincial capital, Le Zheng’s home.
Xiaomi was good at guessing people's minds. She knew that the first wife was recuperating because the eldest master was ill. In order to allow the eldest master to rest in peace, the first wife would tolerate it as much as possible and would never cause trouble.
Over the years, she has become accustomed to it.
That was why she was so bold this time and ordered her confidants to spread such rumors privately in the mansion.
In her opinion, even if the first wife knew that she did it, so what? Wouldn't it be possible to make a big deal out of a small matter?
You know, the one who wants to live a stable and peaceful life the most and is least willing to cause trouble is the eldest wife.
So, Jin kept saying that she would investigate, the old lady was also very angry and said she would investigate, but Xiaomi didn't take it seriously at all.
She felt that the old lady was just speaking out of anger. As for Jin? She was just strong on the outside but capable on the inside.
If she dares to cause trouble, humph, then don't blame me for making the eldest house restless every day in the future! You know, in this mansion, I am her elder, it is too easy to find fault with her.
Since Xiaomi didn't take it seriously, Jin had no trouble investigating and soon found conclusive evidence that the case was brought to Shui Xiusao, Xiaomi's trusted servant.
Jin ordered her men to bring Shuixiu and several lower- and middle-ranking maids who were close to Xiaomi to the old lady's yard. They were forced to kneel on the ground and report to the old lady.
The old lady was also a little dumbfounded
